Ina Ch,uese HospIta1.

In one Of tho most crowded thorough
fares of the Chinese quarter of Shanghai
there has stood for forty years o free native
hospital, mainly supported by the Euro
pean community. Very strange its wards
look at first to English visitors. The pa-
tients bring their own bedding, consisting
Of bamboo mat and wadded quilt.
Those who can move about are the only
regular attendants Of those who cannot.
The house surgeon and dispenser IS
Christian Chinaman, for thirty years con-
nected with the hospital and one Of the
first converts Of mission school. Yearly
about 300 patients pass through the wards,
and the proportion of deaths is small.
Last year there were fifty-six, and in the
dispensary more than $4,000 cases were
treated.
From very far distances many of the
poor suffering creatures come, and back
to their far off homes many a healed ono
has carried blessing greater than bodily
healing; for we believe that nowhere, at
home or abroad, could better proof be
found than in the Shanghai hospital of
the benefit of combining medical and Cos
pei work. Daily the waiting room, seated
for 300, is crowded with men, women and
children long before the dispensing hour,
and daily an English missionary, as con-
versant with their language as his own,
sets before this waiting multitude the
word of life. 81 believe" writes Chris
tian physician, who for some years had
the oversight Of this work, "that the Chi
nese undergo more suffering for want Of
medical knowledge than any other nation
in the world. In an institution like this,
almost daily under good physician may
the blind receive sight, the deaf hear, the
lame walk. Tho Culver.
